Burnaby Mountain and Riverway golf courses have switched to the Select Pi ball dispensing system. You'll experience several benefits including:
- The ability to use one range card at both Burnaby Mountain and Riverway.
- A mobile app option to manage your range card and check your balance.
As with any transition, some processes will change and some will stay the same. We want to be as clear as possible about what changes are coming and how it will affect your experience at our driving ranges:
